Winter Feeding

[Barry n Abbie]

After checking 5 hives and adding fondant to two of them, I am starting to display signs of the winter beekeeper disease - agitation, anxiety, repeated trips to the internet to check winter weather forecasts, etc, and despite my best efforts to be worry free, I still have to wait another 2 months to see what the outcome will be........Who ever said beekeeping was a calming experience?

It is in the summer.

You mean this isn't abnormal?

Old timers everywhere have learned how to do that, it's called being too tired and lazy to do anything about it.(I know )

[Mikey N.C.]

Exactly.

B&A, some of us use the time to read books about beekeeping, build equipment, make sugar bricks, fantasize about honey supers, plan gardens and pollinator plots.  Let's see...did I forget anything?  Get a daily fix of bee talk with beekeeping comrades!
